Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Butler Qian saw Xu Jingyi off and went to see Zhou Chenli with the things Xu Jingyi had sent.

When he arrived at Zhou Chenli's place, he told Zhou Chenli what Xu Jingyi had done at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Zhou Chenli sneered, "He's going to the South on an errand? He's even shaking it off. Lord Yu thinks highly of him, giving him such a lucrative job."

Zhou Chenli opened the box that Butler Qian handed to him and saw an ancient book inside.

The ancient books are full of ancient flavor and are obviously very old.

Zhou Chenli picked it up and looked at it with great interest. It was a unique copy of calligraphy.

Because the books are so old, they are difficult to preserve. The covers are damaged and it is impossible to tell who the author is.

But as soon as you see the strong and powerful characters, you can tell that they were created by a great man of the previous dynasty.

Zhou Chenli smiled. He naturally knew the value of this book. This book was probably worth half of Xu Jingyi's wealth. This Lord Xu was really willing to spend it.

Forget it, Xu Jingyi was thoughtful and gave him something he liked.

Zhou Chenli instructed Steward Qian, "Send two people to accompany Xu Jingyi on his southern tour. Help him in any way you can."

"After all, he's mine now. If he doesn't do his job well, I'll be embarrassed along with him."

Steward Qian smiled and said, "Master Xu is so lucky. With my help, there is no problem with this mission."

"Did you give Xu Miao the silver that Lord Xu asked me to give her? Also, Lord Xu gave me two gold ingots."

After saying that, Butler Qian smiled and took out two gold ingots from his pocket and showed them to Zhou Chenli.

"Look, Duke, the quality is quite good, haha."

Zhou Chenli was also amused when he saw the gold ingots that Butler Qian took out. He laughed and teased Butler Qian.

"Oh, butler, this is bribery! Just keep it for tea, as if you are in dire need of money. Give Xu Miao that banknote to her as well. Our Duke's Mansion doesn't need her few taels of silver."

After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter.

Before Xu Jingyi left, he made a special trip to Xu Miao's backyard.

The young woman moved from the corner of the backyard to a large courtyard, where she was served by a maid and a servant. Her living conditions improved greatly.

When Xu Jingyi came to his mother, he wanted to tell her that the yard outside was still reserved for Xu Miao.

Let me have time to bring a message to Xu Miao, and if there is a chance, you can go to that small courtyard to get together with me.

No other young lady in the Xu family has this opportunity, only Xu Miao has it.

The main reason is that none of the other concubines in the Xu family had daughters who married into wealthy families.

Xu Jingyi wanted to please Zhou Chenli through Xu Miao. As long as he could see his mother, how could he forget the Xu Mansion?

Xu Jingyi stayed with the young lady for a while and then left. The main reason was that he didn't know what to say to Xu Miao and it was too awkward to sit there.

Xu Jingyi went to Zhao again to give some instructions, telling her not to provoke Xu Miao's mother and to keep an eye on Xu Mingzhu at home and prevent her from causing trouble.

And let Zhao find a female teacher for Xu Zhier to learn from. If Xu Zhier is well trained, maybe she can marry into a wealthy family. Isn't Xu Miao a living example?

In short, Xu Jingyi was very fussy and explained everything in detail.

The main reason is that he hasn't had the chance to go out for many years, and he's a little worried about his family if he's suddenly asked to go out for a long time.

It seems that this family cannot leave him.

After Xu Jingyi had arranged everything for his family, he waited for the two aides from the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion to be sent to him by Butler Qian.

This made Xu Jingyi very excited. With the help of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, he was not afraid of failing to complete the task. The money he spent was worth it. Wouldn't he make back this little money by going on a southern tour?

Work hard, work hard, and make sure to accumulate your strength and make a breakthrough, so that those who look down on him can see that he, Xu Jingyi, is not a pushover.

For a long time afterwards, Doctor Xu was no longer seen in the capital.

The story of Sun Wukong was performed in the restaurants and tea houses of Duke Dingguo's mansion amid the cheers of the princes and grandchildren.

Before the performance, Butler Qian asked someone to promote it everywhere.

Xu Miao told Butler Qian that this was called preheating. Preheating would better attract people to watch.

After hearing this, Butler Qian's eyes lit up and he thought this method was feasible.

It didn't cost much. I just found some little beggars begging on the street, dressed them up as Sun Wukong, and let them go to crowded places in the capital to have fun for a few days.

The price was to give the little beggars a few days of full meals.

These little beggars are not very old and are at the age when they like to play.

They have the opportunity to eat and play around, and they also have the opportunity to change into beautiful clothes that can only be worn by opera singers. Isn't that crazy?

In groups of three or five, they would play and fight wherever there were many people. While playing and fighting, they would also shout that the Dingguo Mansion Restaurant and Teahouse were going to tell the story of Monkey King!

Everyone was curious about what was going on. Why did such a group of jumping monkeys suddenly appear?

"Hey, what are these kids doing? They're all dressed up like little monkeys. They look quite annoying."

"Well, you don't know yet? That restaurant and teahouse in the Duke Dingguo's mansion are going to tell some story about the Monkey King."

"I know about this. My neighbor works in that teahouse. I heard that Lord Dingguo hired someone to make up a monkey story for his youngest son. It's quite good. I heard it's also a fairy tale."

"Yes, I've heard about this as well. They even said that the princes and grandchildren in the palace applauded this story."

"Yes, yes, yes. The day before yesterday, I saw a storyteller entering the palace to tell stories to the young princes. He was dressed like this."

"Oh, even the nobles in the palace say it's good. We have to go and listen."

"That's right. My little grandson just saw the monkeys and wanted to go with them. I had to stop him with great difficulty. I don't know when the lecture will start, so I can take the child to listen when the time comes."

"Didn't they say the talk would start in three days? There's even a notice posted at the entrance of the restaurant."

"Well, the restaurant is so expensive. Let's go to the teahouse and listen. We can't get in, but we can hear it outside. That storyteller has a really loud voice. I always go outside the teahouse and listen when I have nothing to do."

"Yes, I've listened to it when I was free. Let's go outside and listen. It's still cool outside."

In less than half a day, everyone in the capital knew that the restaurant in Duke Dingguo's mansion was going to tell the story of Monkey King.

There weren't many entertainment options back then, so once something new happened, everyone became very enthusiastic.

The private rooms in the Dingguo Mansion Restaurant were booked out early, not to mention the dining tables in the lobby below.

Butler Qian has been very busy these days. These things are not his business, as he is the chief butler.

But doesn't this concern his wallet? Butler Qian never minds having too much money.

The Duke's wife and Zhou Jiyuan were jumping up and down in the mansion, clamoring to go and listen to the storyteller.

The Duke's wife: Mr. Li's stories are so entertaining, so the storyteller's must be even more entertaining. I have to join in the fun.

Zhou Jiyuan: The Monkey King was born from my mouth. I was the one who told it to Mr. Li. I am the first person to do so, so I must go.

Duke Dingguo: Let’s go, let’s go with the whole family and join in the fun.
